Picked up my powder coated wheels today... YEAY! Some of these pics are a bit bright. The darker photos are accurate to the true color.

Those look great...color reminds me of the 2010 sport rims, which I'm trying to get my hands on pretty soon actually. Just duno if it makes sense since I wanna paint mine black.

 

I suspect these are darker. When I get these mounted, I'll have a set (on the car) that I'll be looking to move along (they are in mint condition). You could powder coat them and still be way under the cost of the sport wheels.

 

Thanks, I currently have a set of sport wheels on my car 09 sports though. I work for Nissan, so the cost isnt really the issue lol. Good luck with them though

 

Wow. Now I like that. One question.... How's the scratch and chip resistance?

 

dunno, just got them. Supposedly, they are far more resistant than paint could ever be

in the photos, there are specs of dirt on them from moving them around for the photos

 

Looks way better than painted ones. Good choice. Mind if I ask how much powder coating cost for a set of wheels?

Precision Powder Coating

The guy has literally hundreds of colors to choose from, cool guy too.

Here are the prices (that the guy emailed me):
18" rims any single stage powder 80.00/rim
18" rims any 2 stage powder 110.00/rim

What you are looking at is a two stage. Not 100% sure what constitutes a 1 or 2 stage, but I suspect clear coat. From the 1 stages that I saw, I wasn't that impressed.

 

The rims look hot!
I am glad that you posted the link my bro in law is working on rebuilding an old Indian dirt bike and I was telling him that powder coating was the way to go with the frames and such! Looks like this place does good work!

 

Those look super slick buddy. Although, they might look better on a black Max Haha, jk. I am thinking I might go this route in the future.

 

keith these look great! cant wait to see them in person!

 

You're looking at your next mod

 

Install those suckers already. They look really good.

 

daYUM, those look good. I might have to take mine and get them done and then install them on my 03 Max.

 

dont it add weight to your wheels if you powered coat it?

 

It is a powder that is applied then baked onto the wheel

How it really works: http://powdercoatingbeginners.blogsp...ing-works.html

 

k757…Dude, those wheels look better than the stock 2010 19". I really like the wheels. Look forward to seeing them on your car.

1sik...You gotta do that to your 19's. That would truly look sik….

 

I haven't seen the '10 wheels yet. Once you customize OEM parts by professionals, they become quite the show piece.

 

thank. i heard that it will add weight to wheels if powder coat but i guess not. i will go ahead and tell my body shop to start the job..

 

lol i know i wanna see how keiths (k757) looks in person

 

wow those look good

 

how do they look now?

 

Dude wow those look unbelievable!!!! Much props

 

Wow they do look good. Now drop the car and you're set.

 

i always liked that color of rim but it makes the tires look faded....lol always happens...tire shine and ull b all set bro

 

bro they look great!

 

They look really good k757!

 

I think you'd be talking Ounces per wheel. I doubt that's going to add anything significant.

I like the look.

After looking at NYCX's dark on black, I'm not sure I like the all darkened out look on black cars enough to do it to mine.

Nothing against the "stealth" look NYCXCHUNK. I just prefer the contrasting look.

 

The tires were dirty/dusty in the photos as I took the shots on the way home from Firestone. I already hit it with shine and they are much better now.

 

Yeah I heard it adds like 35 pounds by powder coating it. And you know for these drag strip, high performance, super tuned, super drift, 10 second quarter mile race cars we call Maximas, that is waaaaay too much weight. Bad idea OP.

BTW when did people become so obsessed with weight as far as cars? Sound worse than a H.S. cheerleader in Orange County.

 

hahaha

to anyone concerned with weight, the powder is just glorified brake dust

 

Looking Good!

 

Co-sign. They look hot!

 

Hey , your car looks great. How did you paint your grill. I was thinking of painting mine.

 

Looks amazing !

 

thanks, come on out to a NYCMaxima meet and see it in person!

 

I just leased Max SV sports+Tech and picking up the car on Monday. When is the meet ?

 

nice
There are plenty. I want to say maybe 1 a month (or more). For anyone living in the NYC metro area, I highly recommend they join the NYCMaxima forum.

I think the next meet is on 4/17

The last meet was an epic event.... it was cRaZy!!!
